What is Stroke Play?
Stroke play is a form of play where players competes against all others in the competition by comparing a total score for one or more rounds. In regular, individual stroke play, you need to hole out on every hole. Each hole score for every hole in the round is added up to calculate your final score.

I am a stroke surviour/have a disability, can I still take part?
Yes! Golf is an inclusive sport that welcomes people of all abilities and physical conditions.
When does Golf for Stroke take place?
We are asking supporter to take part during May, as it is Stroke awarness month. However, if you cannot take part during May you are welcome to do it during a time that suits you.
Is there a fundraising target?
We ask that you raise as much as you can.
If you wish to enter our golf compeition, your team must raise a minimum of £500.
Below are some examples of what your fundraising can do.
- £150 could help pay for research into new stroke treatments, as we did with thrombolysis - a clot-busting drug that returns the blood supply to the brain that has transformed the outcomes of stroke survivors who have received it.
- £300 could allow a befriending volunteer to work with a stroke survivor for up to a year, perhaps accompanying them on a bus journey once a week until they feel confident enough to take the same journey on their own.
- £1,000 could pay for start-up funds for ten voluntary groups, helping them to start providing crucial peer support in their community.
